JOYCE SIDMAN REDUX

Last November, I wrote a two-part blog piece about the poetry of Joyce Sidman. I thought this would be a good time to revisit those posts because Sidman is the first winner of the Cybils Award for Poetry for her outstanding book BUTTERFLY EYES.Joyce Sidman: Poet & Scientist, Part I

I was most happy to serve as a member of the poetry-nominating panel. What a great experience it was to have thought-provoking discussions about children’s poetry with other bloggers who are also passionate about the subject.

Elaine,Thanks for the link. Sidman's poems make me want to run outside and leap into the nearest meadow to explore its hidden world of insects and plant life on my own. Oh, what a gift Sidman's given us!

In the tradition of theRed Rose Girls, a group of children's book professionals (authors, illustrators, an editor, and one former librarian) discuss everything kidlit related; from industry news and the ever-changing world of publishing to the creative process with all its frustrations and inspirations. Please join us in the discussion!
